Instagram post 2179262673177483470_634449261 DAY ONE ONE THREE IN CANADA 🇨🇦 ~ It's winter already?!⁣ ⁣ Woke up reminiscing about the beautiful fall colours today. October has got to be my favourite month in Canada so far. Picture perfect postcards everywhere I look. 🍁🍂⁣ ⁣ I was not expecting fall to be so short lived and for us to reach sub zero temperatures and snow in the month of November! For a girl who's lived in tropical climate her whole life, I was sure adapting to the winter was going be a challenge.⁣ ⁣ But in all honesty, it's not been that bad. I've been walking around in the cold to catch a bus, or go buy groceries and I've been managing beautifully. The key is investing in the right winter wear and layering up. I know It's going to get colder going forward, but so far so good.⁣ ⁣ (I'll do another post when we reach -30 degrees and let you guys know if I feel the same way then. LOL) ❄️🌨️⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #LifeOfANewImmigrant #MyImmigrantStory⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #getoutside #getoutstayout #exploremore #theglobewanderer #letsgosomewhere #campvibes #fall #fallcolours #autumn #liveoutdoors #travelstoke #nakedplanet #instapassport #aroundtheworldpix #ig_masterpiece #campinassp #flashesofdelight #travelog #mytinyatlas #visualmobs #theglobewanderer #forahappymoment #exploringtheglobe #torontolife #torontoigers #wethenorth #downtowntoronto #igerstoronto

Instagram post 2175222444225279351_634449261 You know that feeling when you hug your loved one after ages of being apart? That was me when I got to eat 'Chaat' after many months. ⁣💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 ⁣ 📍: @butterchickenroti , 646 Yonge Street, Toronto⁣ ⁣ Apart from serving up North Indian street food, this QSR also churns out the most delicious rotis. Think butter chicken, chicken vindaloo, paneer tikka generously stuffed in a sturdy yet soft roti. (You can also replace roti with rice on the side if you like.)⁣ ⁣ UPDATE: The first 100 customers at this Butter Chicken Roti outlet shall receive a free roti of their choice on the 15th of November. The rest of the weekend, you can pick between a free gulab jamun/samosa if you purchase a roti.⁣ ⁣ *does the bhangra* 🕺🕺🕺⁣ ⁣ #butterchickenroti #butterchickenmeets #jojoinstameets ⁣ #nothingisordinary #myfab5 #f52grams #dailyfoodfeed #lovefood #eatingfortheinsta #flatlay #spoonfeed #huffposttaste #infatuation #buzzfeast #feedyoursoull #cheatmeal #tastingtable #forkyeah #torontolife #torontoigers #wethenorth #downtowntoronto #shotbypixel #teampixel

Instagram post 2164013186020408556_634449261 DAY NINETY TWO IN CANADA 🇨🇦 ~ Doesn't feel like Diwali⁣. Or maybe it does. ⁣ Yesterday was our first Diwali away from home. There were no lights or lamps, no rangolis or garlands, and no Indian sweets or snacks to mark the occasion. Most importantly, no family or friends to celebrate with in person.⁣ ⁣ Yesterday both of us went to work. We both were busy setting up the home and completing some bank formalities. We did light a diya, eat motichoor laddoos and say a silent prayer thanking God for all that we've managed to achieve in these three months. So yea, maybe it did feel like Diwali after all.⁣ ⁣ Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating. 🎊🎉⁣ (📷: @planetonwheels )

Instagram post 2160350756670452225_634449261 Our first Diwali away from home. And we're missing all the things this festive season brings - celebrating with friends and family, dressing up in the finest of clothes, card parties and all the delicious food that rounds up the celebrations!⁣ ✨✨✨ ⁣ Which is why I was extremely pleased to discover Asian Home Gourmet pastes in the supermarket the other day. Cooking my favourite chicken curry or butter chicken just became so much more easier now! Not to forget that the products are all preservative free, have no added colors and no MSG. It's perfect for people who are on a gluten-free diet too!⁣ ✨✨✨ ⁣ #Ad #AsianHomeGourmetCanada  #GourmetFood #PeerAHG⁣ ✨✨✨ . . . . . #foodoftheday #vscook #fdblogger #foodporn #foodstagram #foodforfoodies #foodie #foodbloggerscanada #eatfamous #eeeeeats #foodiefeature #lovefood #forkyeah #dailyfoodfeed #huffposttaste #foodbeast #toronto #torontoblogger #canada #tastetoronto
